**1. Food:** The setup is cafeteria style, allowing you to walk down a line and let the staff know your choices. They prepare a plate for you, offering a variety of options like BBQ ribs, fried chicken, pork chops, and whiting. They have a great deal where you can pick an entree, two sides, and either cornbread or a roll. I chose the fried shrimp entree, paired with mashed potatoes and chicken gravy, collard greens, and cornbread, all for $11.99—a bargain in an expensive city like D.C. For dessert, I tried the banana pudding. Between my friend and me, we also enjoyed the whiting, mashed potatoes with gravy, cornbread, lemon pound cake, and sweet potato pie. However, the mac and cheese was qu...
Saints Paradise Cafeteria is a restaurant located in the basement of a church. For those attending events at the convention center, it's only a few blocks away on foot. Entrance is on the side of the building and is clearly marked. Per the name, it's served Cafeteria style, and is cash only. I went here for breakfast, and they have interesting options that include Salmon Cakes, Pork Chops, and Scrapple on top of the usual options like Eggs, Pancakes, Bacon, and Sausage. Slices of Cake and Pie were available during breakfast. Ordered Bacon, Eggs, Fried Potatoes, Toast, and a slice of Cherry pie. Some of the beverage options include Coffee, Soda, Juice, and Water. Prices were very fair, and wi...
BRING CASH THEY DO NOT TAKE PLASTIC. THERE IS AN ATM INSIDE. No matter what brings me to Washington, DC, If I have the time, I eat here or get takeaways. If you are the type you want a fancy place this is not it. Everyone from every walk of life drifts in and out the doors. And each time I have come there has been a line. (And yes, everyone has to wait their turn). The food is exceptional and the prices are great. Be prepared to take food home because they give you a lot. Yes, it is in a church basement area. The food and the service are great. Another good thing is the take away trays they use are sturdy. The staff is very nice. Like I said, I eat here every time I come to DC. I often buy m...
During my time living and working in Green Bay, Wisconsin, I witnessed the powerful impact of an outreach center called St. John's Church, which similarly served the local population by offering BBQ and soul food to fund their homeless shelter operations. The difference they made was profound, and I find myself reflecting on that as I observe a similar mission here in DC. I see neighbors helping each other and the significant impact that Saint's Paradise is having by nourishing the local community. I will continue to support their efforts, regardless of my personal beliefs, because I recognize the important work they are doing for one another. This is a mission that truly transcends words.

I'll keep this brief about this hidden gem. We ordered the rib plate and the fried chicken plate, which came to around $27 (cash only). The fried chicken was tasty, but you only get one breast with it. The ribs, however, were a fantastic deal, as the entire container was packed full. I really wish they served meatloaf every day because I’d love to try it. The line was slow and quite long, with a wait time of about 45 minutes on a Saturday afternoon. They had run out of several items, so be sure to arrive early. We’ll definitely be back, but next time we’ll come earlier to get what we want. The sides were delightful, and it’s clear that everything is made fresh in-house.
Had to check this place out before I let the area. Went around 12 and while it was packed, the line moved at a steady pace. The servers had everything down to a science with the food line. My boyfriend and I both got the pork chop dinner. I also wanted to try the fish so I added a fish sandwich. For my sides I got the cabbage and Mac n cheese. Both were really good and the cornbread was sweet and moist. I also got a side of rice and gravy. My boyfriend got the mashed potatoes with gravy. We got the same gravy it didn't have any flavor. everything else was great. Nice local gem to check out to fill the soul food craving.
The cafeteria food is good.The portions are great.I like the pork chops smothered in gravy .The brown gravy on rice was nice.Turkey wings,cabbage,collard greens,.The staff interaction or banter is great!The conversation I had with the lady on smothered pork chop and gravy poured on pork chop was fun.I like talking about southern food.You won't be disappointed. Mr Southern/Northern The Saints Cafeteria is outstanding.
Great spot for a quick, fresh meal cooked with love. Stopped by on a Sunday morning and had a great breakfast. Grits, eggs scrambled w cheese, sausage patties, and a most delicious biscuit. If I wasn't on a diet I would have had a slice of that strawberry cake as well. Support this neighborhood institution and give it a try. Réservez une table maintenant
